Modernise public services, improve outcomes for children and families, and strengthen digital infrastructure with 6B’s software development for government and local education authorities. We design, build, and support secure, scalable systems that help public-sector education teams deliver efficient, transparent, and accessible services across schools, communities, and wider local authority networks.
Get in touchWhether you’re transforming legacy systems, digitising citizen-facing services, or integrating complex data across departments, we deliver robust, compliant technology tailored to the needs of central and local government education teams.
Government departments and local education authorities manage a wide range of responsibilities — from admissions and safeguarding to SEND services, attendance support, school improvement, family services, and data reporting. These high-stakes environments require digital systems that are secure, interoperable, easy to use, and aligned with statutory and regulatory requirements.
Effective software development for education authorities demands a deep understanding of public-sector structures, governance frameworks, and the need for transparency, auditability, and accessibility. Systems must support cross-department collaboration, enable data-driven decision-making, and deliver consistent user experiences for both staff and citizens.
At 6B, we partner with government bodies, local authorities, and public-sector education services to build digital platforms that improve service delivery, strengthen compliance, and support better outcomes for children, young people, and families.
We begin with a comprehensive discovery phase — collaborating with service leads, social care teams, education officers, digital transformation teams, and end users to understand your processes, priorities, and challenges.
Our design approach prioritises accessibility, inclusion, and clarity, ensuring that digital services are easy to navigate for diverse user groups — including parents, carers, school staff, partner agencies, and internal teams. Whether we’re creating admissions portals, SEND case management systems, early help platforms, or authority-wide reporting tools, we focus on usability and compliance.
Technically, we engineer secure, scalable systems built to government and public-sector standards, including WCAG accessibility guidelines, GDPR, cyber security best practice, and relevant DfE frameworks. We integrate seamlessly with core systems such as MIS platforms, social care systems, identity and authentication services, finance and HR tools, and data warehouses.
We provide full lifecycle delivery — from architecture and development to testing, documentation, training, deployment, and long-term support. Our solutions are designed to withstand high user volumes, complex workflows, and evolving policy requirements.
